Protecting Your Trees

Looking After Your Trees in Bad Weather

🌳 Safety first! 🌳

Trees near homes or power lines can pose significant risks during storms, as high winds and heavy rain can cause branches to fall or entire trees to uproot. Here’s what to watch for to keep your property safe:

❌ Dead or Diseased Branches: Dead or cracked limbs are vulnerable and more likely to snap under pressure.
❌ Leaning Trees: A recent lean toward structures signals instability; assess with a professional if necessary.
❌ Overhanging Limbs Near Power Lines: Branches near power lines can snap during storms, leading to dangerous, live wires. Contact your utility company if branches are too close.
❌ Weak Forks in Branches: Branches with a V-shaped split are more likely to break during strong winds or heavy rain.
❌ Root Damage: Exposed or damaged roots make trees less stable, increasing the risk of falling.
